4. PACKAGE CONTENTS AND UNPACKING


Unpack the AutoLab carefully. Be sure to keep all the packaging materials, as these will be required should it be necessary to return the unit for service or repair.

The following items are included with the ATL-500:

For the ATL-800 processor, the following items are included:

ATL-800 unpack.jpg (21334 bytes)
  • ATL-800 Processor Unit, Item No.4237
  • metal frame with reclamation rack
  • gray cover plate
  • 3 five liter containers with hose-connections, 2 blue, 1 translucent
  • 3 five liter translucent containers
  • 1 small film tank, with center core for processing 1 film 135
  • 1 large film tank with center core for processing 2 x 35mm or 120 roll film, or 6 sheets of 4x5" film
  • 2 #2502 roll film reels
  • 1 sheet film reel #2509n for processing up to 6 sheets of
  • 4x5" film
  • 1 cold water pressure hose #61005
  • 1 power cord
  • 2 drain hoses
  • 2 way drain adapter
  • 1 changing bag
  • instruction manual

The ATL processor should be positioned on a firm, dry and level surface, close to a cold water supply, drain and power source. The water supply should be capable of supplying cold water at a pressure between 2 and 6 bar (36 to 108 p.s.i.). If the water pressure is higher than this, a pressure reducer should be used. The AutoLab should be installed in accordance with local water and sewerage regulations.

If the ATL-500 is to be installed with the optional reclamation rack, Item No. 4245, please see chapter 10 of this manual for installation instructions.

The ATL-800's metal frame can be placed on the floor, on a low table or attached to a wall. If the frame is placed on the floor, take care to ensure that the water outlet has a natural fall to the drain. When wall mounting, make sure the mounting hardware can support at least 30 kg (66 lbs.) each, and that the unit is level.

Please ensure that the unit is not installed in the direct vicinity of air conditioning systems or radiators.

Never place the ATL-500/800 into a sink where water can rise up to the machine. For safety reasons the bottom plate of the ATL-500 has openings at various points. Penetrating water can damage the unit. If the AutoLab is standing in a basin filled with water, do not put your hand into the water! Pull the power plug first to prevent an electric shock.

Warning: To avoid the possibility of damage to the processor, make sure the water supply valves are within reach in case there is a leak. Always close the taps when the processor is not in use!


Turn the ATL unit onto its back, and make the hose connections as follows:

Hose Connect.jpg (10759 bytes)
  • Connect the cold water pressure hose between the cold water supply point and input connector 'W.
  • Connect drain hoses to points '1', '2' and '3'. These are the drains for the first, second and third chemical baths respectively. The other ends of these hoses can be positioned in a sink, over a drain or in separate containers for chemistry reclamation. There should be a natural fall of the hoses to facilitate drainage.
  • Connect a drain hose to point 'D'. This is the drainage point for rinse water, and should be positioned either over a drain, or connected to the main drainage system using the adapter provided.
  • Connect a drain hose to point 'D2'. This is the drain for the processor water jacket. The other end should be positioned over a drain point, or connected to the main drainage system using the adapter provided.
  • Connect the battery plug to its matching receptacle.
  • Restore the ATL to its working position.

For the ATL-800 the following additional steps are needed for installation.

  • The ATL-800 is supplied with three chemical hoses connected with a coupling device at the end. Place the processor on the reclamation rack in its working position, guiding the hoses between the processor and the metal frame.
  • The ATL-800 should be positioned with its feet in the positioning holes in the reclamation unit. The drain outlets for the three chemistry baths connect to the storage containers without the need of interconnecting hoses. When lowering the processor, be certain that the outlets align with the tubes of the reclamation containers.
  • The rinse water and drain hoses need to be routed to a drain at the side of the unit, and care needs to be taken to make sure these hoses are not trapped between the reclamation unit and the ATL-800 chassis.
  • Place the five-liter storage tanks on top of the metal frame in their positions. Working from left to right, start with the blue container marked "1", then place the blue container marked "2", and finally place the translucent container marked "3" on the right.
  • Connect the three hoses from the processor unit to the five-liter containers using the coupling devices.
  • Cover the three hoses with the gray plate, which hangs on the four round connectors.
  • Connect the ATL-500/800 to a grounded power supply capable of providing 115V at 10A or 230V at 6A, as appropriate. It is recommended that a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupt (GFCI) be used for safety reasons.

    Note: In certain locations, the use of a GFCI may be mandatory for this equipment.
